How to Uninstall Registry Cleaner Trial Program

I did a no-no and downloaded a trial version of Advanced Registry Optimizer
by Sammsoft. I tried to uninstall it the other day and thought I was
successful. But the next time I turned on my computer, the black screen
saying that Windows had unexpectedly shut down came on; then there was a blue
screen and a lot of wording that in essence was telling me my computer was
about to have a nervous breakdown. So, I restarted in Safe Mode and ended up
using Restore System. However, the only way it would Restore was going back
to where I installed that Registry Optimizer. So...it's still on the
computer and I'd like to uninstall it. However, will it do this same thing
again? Help! Susan

how about restoring to before you installed that nasty piece of crapware??

Sorry...I forgot to mention that the first time I tried to restore was to the
point before that trial program was installed, That was when the system
actually did the weird stuff. Then I went to Safe Mode and restored to the
point recommended which was with the trial version. I'm almost afraid to try
this again. There is a line under this program in the start menu which says
"Uninstall (name of program)" but I wonder if that will start all of this
stuff over again. Hope this makes sense. Susan
